When Miro Heiskanen gets the puck, the seconds of the game clock seem to be slower than usual, writes Jussi Paasi.

With Heiskanen when waving.
Juha Vainion the classic began to play in my ears when Finland and the USA met in the semifinals of the World Cup. Or more specifically, certain verses of it. The earworm was, of course, caused by the Star Defender of the Lions Miro Heiskanen.
Heiskanen scored one goal and scored two goals. He was awarded as the best player of the match.
Then with Heiskanen when they waved, the alleys echoed ja
Heiskanen’s body harnesses are art. He’s like a soloist with a jazz band. Improvised solos surprise, pulsate and wild the audience. For opponents, solos are poison. The worst in the reading of Heiskanen was the bad boy in the USA Austin Watsonwhose ankles spun viciously as the Finn spun with the puck as he wanted.
That’s familiar already…
Heiskanen is familiar to US players from the NHL. The Finn is one of the best defenders in the toughest puck series in the world. The still life was the worst possible for the Americans from the defenders’ point of view. They had only four defenders in the game. And none of them even reached the level of Heiskanen.
We are very far from frosty adventure…
Heiskanen’s World Cup has not been a mere victory. The star, who plays huge minutes from night to night in the NHL, has a much shorter playing time in Lions than in Dallas. At first, he didn’t seem to catch the rhythm of the game properly in the few minutes. It is confusing that Heiskanen, who enjoys a seasonal salary of more than eight million dollars, will not be number one in the World Championships.
But such is the case Jukka Jalosen template. And it produces results. In the semi-finals, it was seen that Heiskanen has adapted perfectly to the Finnish team’s playing style and playing during the week. This time, Heiskanen was also blessed with more playing time than before. He thanked in a beautiful way for the responsibility.
What a hurry to go anywhere…
When Heiskanen gets the puck, the seconds of the game clock seem to be slower than usual. The skill level, the digestibility of the skating and the number of games are so incredibly high. I don’t know if he even sweated properly in the semi-finals. Playing with such an easy man was once again from one exchange to another.
At times, of course, Heiskanen had to swing at the head of the defense without a puck, according to the original meaning of Vainio’s song, that is, the Swedish ship style, when the USA got a few longer spins. But those were just fleeting moments.
Probably behind the lights somewhere over there…
The lights in Tampere’s arena flashed and the music roared as Heiskanen shouted at the home crowd. The hit came at the end of a handsome solo, anyway. Heiskanen swung first to the left, then to the right, and finally beautifully lifted the puck from the knuckle to the paint ceiling.
Heijaa, Heiskanen, when it was waved, was pretty.
Heiskanen made sure that the Lions’ considerable mood would continue in the World Cup final on Sunday.
